The Problem
Traditional Commodities
Trillions in value, but slow, intermediary-heavy processes limit access and efficiency.
Descentralized Finance
High yields, but often unbacked by real assets, leading to circular risks and regulatory hurdles.
2025
Context
Stabilizing commodity markets create arbitrage opportunities, yet investors lack compliant, verifiable entry points amid inflation and crypto winters.
Our Approach
Nova's Solution
Nova combines physical control (global sourcing/logistics) with digital infrastructure (on-chain tokenization, stablecoin yields). Starting with cocoa as proof-of-concept, with rapid expansion to diverse markets:
Model
High-frequency trades (20-40/year) via direct farmgate buys (30% discount), rapid sales (FOB/CIF premiums), and compounding reinvestment—scalable across commodities.
Key Pillars
Physical origination (cooperatives, Maersk/CMA CGM), trade finance (SGBC/Ecobank), digital tracing (Nova Trace), and institutional liquidity (Copper custody).
Phases
1. Cocoa launch
2. Palm oil/coffee diversification
3. Metals/ESG bundles
4. Infrastructure layer.
Governance
Swiss-compliant DAO with EUDR/ESG alignment; dual audits (physical + on-chain).

Competitive Edge

Beyond
Platforms
Many RWA infrastructures struggle with traction, while Nova provides ready-to-use vaults with compounding and liquidity—driving real adoption for institutions and investors.
03
Learning
from Pivots
Shifts in the space highlight failures in pure RWAs; Nova prioritizes sustainable institutional yields with ESG traceability, ensuring traction across markets.
